Chapter 11
A.N. Sorry about taking so long getting another chapter out! I know it has been a while, but I have been busy with college. Just ask my beta/best friend/co-author of this chapter, Sonic Winchester! (She helped with the fight scene, and basically forced me to sit down and write this chapter.)
I do not own Ao No Exorcist, never will. If I did, well. There are a few things about the manga I would change.
"Stop eating MY Ramen!" Mephisto snapped.
"…But Nii-San… it's tasty." Amaimon droned, slurping the cup noodles.
"MINE!" Mephisto cried, tackling Amaimon. The cup noodles, on the other hand, went flying, landing on the DVD player.
"MY DVD PLAYER!" Mephisto shrieked, diving before the now sparking appliance.
"Now look what you did, Amaimon, you destroyed my DVD player! Now I don't have anything to do!"
While Mephisto ranted at him, Amaimon was staring at what remained of the cup noodles.
"…And my DVD may be fried …well, I could always check on Yukio's mission (that I know Rin snuck into…) …and are you even listening to me?!" Mephisto snapped, glaring at Amaimon.
"…I'm hungry, Nii-san…" was all he said.
Meanwhile at the church….
The church was dark; to anyone outside it, it would appear that the church was empty, but if you approached, you could hear the obvious sounds of a battle.
Rin attacked first, diving at where he perceived Azazel to be.
"Not there, little brother~!" he practically sang, his voice bouncing through the church.
"Come out and fight me like a MAN!" Rin shouted, rising to the bait.
"As you wish!" A fist appeared out of the darkness, and struck Rin across the jaw.
The fists kept coming from all around. It was as if the darkness itself was Azazel.
Rin kept spinning to catch a glimpse, but never once did he see where the fists were coming from.
"COWARD! You hide in the shadows! Stand still so I can hit you!" Rin shouted.
"Does Rin really expect him to stand still?" Renzo muttered to Suguro.
"Sadly, I believe he does." Was his reply.
Rin was starting to tire, the fists were still coming fast.
"Do you yield, little brother?" Azazel sneered.
"Never!" Rin growled, his fangs and ears growing longer, eyes burning a brighter blue with red pupils.
'Rin's losing control again! I need to distract him, or calm him down!' Yukio thought.
Just then, the door burst open, revealing Shura. She quickly assesses the situation, and starts to chant.
"Gyachi-gyachi gabichi yanju-yanju tachibana sowaka!"
Rin lets out a shriek as the charm on his tail tightens, causing him to fall unconscious.
"Yer lucky I got 'ere when I did, any longer an' I woulda 'ad to kill 'im. As it is, I may 'ave to repor' this." She drawls, glancing at Yukio.
Azazel was not pleased.
"Who is this insolent creature who dares to interrupt my fight?" He bellowed, stalking towards the woman now freeing his captives.
"Ah, shut it, flame brain. I got betta things ta do than worry 'bout guys from hair bands." She replied, not glancing at him.
"Why you little bi…"
"Why hello Little Brother! How wonderful to see you, Azazel! It had been too long! The great London Fire, wasn't it? How is Gehenna?" Mephisto burst through the door, effectively cutting his brother off.
"Oh sh.. If you are here, that means HE is here… Where is Amaimon hiding?" Azazel cried, fearfully looking around.
"Hey Nii-san…. You got any food?" a monotone voice spoke from behind him.
"Amaimon! Don't do that!" he cried, clutching his chest.
"Do you have any sweets?" Amaimon asked, ignoring what Azazel said.
"DON'T EAT ANY MORE OF MY SPIRITS, YOU HEAR ME?!" Azazel cried, hiding behind Mephisto.
"Why, Azazel, is that any way to treat your little brother?" Mephisto taunts, circling around Azazel.
"Keep that creep away from me! He ate three of my stronger spirits the last time I ran into him!"
While the demon brothers were arguing, Yukio took that time to reach his brother.
"Nii-san, can you hear me?" He whispered, crouching near his brother's head.
"Don' wanna move…" Rin moaned.
"We gotta get 'im outta 'ere while Mephisto distracts 'em." Shura whispered, slinging one of Rin's arms over her shoulder.
"There is a back door behind the pulpit, come on." Suguro murmured, grabbing the other arm.
The cram school group quietly dragged Rin out of the church, out into the dark night.
"We need to get back to the Academy." Yukio said in a low voice, pulling out his key ring.
He inserted the key to his dorm into the lock of the storage shed out back, and opened the door.
"Where is little brother?" Amaimon deadpanned, scanning the church.
"BASTARD! YOU PLAYED DECOY SO THAT YOUR LITTLE PAWN COULD GET AWAY!" Azazel screamed, lunging at Mephisto.
"Now, now, little brother… didn't you learn that you can't fight time?" Mephisto sneered, sidestepping Azazel's sloppy attack.
"Eins, Zvai, Drei!" Mephisto crowed, stopping time.
"Let's go, Amaimon. I'll let Azazel go in a few hours." He called back as he exited the church.
